Authorities seeking Walmart shoplifter

Columbia County authorities are seeking a man who recently stole paint and marbles from the Evans Walmart.

When she tried to stop him, the loss prevention officer said he ran into the parking lot, got into a green Ford truck and fled.

The man is white, in his early 20s, 5-foot-10 to 6-foot tall, weighs between 150 to 170 pounds, and has brown hair and eyes. During the theft, he was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, tan pants and red shoes.
